When I worked at a major film developing and printing lab in the late 1990's thru early 2000's, many professional photographers used to stop by between or after shoots to drop off film, examine test prints, pick up slides, etc. As I recall, most of them had on formal wear - dress pants and button-down shirt, often suit and tie too. They met with important people, and needed to look proper and professional, not sloppy and casual.
I suppose not too much has changed since then.
Wedding photographers, mostly, I'll bet, Rook ....
That's my point, you see ... there SHOULD be some "proper attire" for ALL photographers - especially, Pro and Press ones ...
Then, it would be easier to tell them apart from the wannabes .... of which, there are far too many, these days ....
Who - for the most part, anyway ... DO dress "sloppy and casual" ....
